MODEL 1015 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Model 1015 is designed specifically for use with Series 100
Cryogenic Test Stations. It provides up to 80 watts of heater power
on each of two channels to warm both the first and second stage of
the test station to room temperature for rapid sample turn around.
The Model 1015 contains two temperature monitoring circuits to
control each heater channel. The Model 1015 monitors the
temperature of each stage via the diode temperature sensors
mounted on each, and automatically shuts down when each of the
stages reaches room temperature.
There are two different power levels available for each channel to
accommodate different test set-ups or heating requirements; a low
range (LO) of 25 watts and a high range (HI) of 80 watts into a 25
!
load.
Front panel controls and indicators allow users to select power levels
and monitor unit status. Monitor power applied to the heaters
(POWER ON HI or POWER ON LO), stage status (READY or WAIT),
as well as operational status (START or STOP) from the front panel.
The rear panel contains the sensor input and heater output for each
stage as well as the selection of continuous or one-shot operation
and cycle timing.
